Products + Services Data Centers Resource Center About
In the IT business, it can be difficult to find opportunities to discuss those frequent IT issues that come up in the course of the day, much less trending IT topics. Discussing any of them with your peers and/or industry experts – while enjoying a beer? Wouldn’t that be ideal?
It can and does happen thanks to US Signal’s Beers with Engineers (BWE) events.
BWE events are meetups in the cities where US Signal’s data centers are located. They’re typically held at local breweries where attendees can participate in networking, panel discussions, and webinars led by US Signal in-house experts and technology partners, demos, and Q&A sessions ─ and enjoy some of the best brews in town courtesy of US Signal.
Each quarter, the events usually focus on a specific topic of interest to IT professionals. That can include anything from IT security to data management. There are no sales pitches. These events are not meant to promote US Signal products and services. They’re about bringing together IT professionals of all levels of experience to discuss common technology interests and issues and share ideas ─ all in a relaxed, social setting.
While the events are typically held “in person,” some situations may require them to be held virtually. If that’s the case, participants will be notified as to where they can pick up their complimentary beer so they can still enjoy a brew while participating from home or the office.
